“Ubi Caritas” from
“Quatre Motets sur des
thèmes grégoriens,” Op. 10
Maurice Duruflé
(1902–1986)
Where charity and love
are, God is there.
Christ’s love has gathered
us into one.
Let us rejoice and be
pleased in Him.
Let us fear, and let us love
the living God.
And may we love each other with
a sincere heart.
Amen.
